Harald, I am very sorry to report that the development team has looked into this and it appears to be a bug. They have no explanation for it, as the code that initializes the engine SUPPOSEDLY did not change during the rewrite from CM6000 to CM7000 (since the engine itself did not change). However, what you report appears to be true. Unfortunately, because CM7000 has been officially put to bed, there will almost certainly not be a patch. Officially, since there isn't a way using the GUI to change the hash table size, then this ability is considered one of those "unsupported features". Therefore it doesn't warrant the time to create, test and put up a patch. Also, considering the recent layoffs here at Mattel Interactive (the new boss in town), no one is willing to stick their heads above their respective trenches. The development team tells me, however, that in the next version there WILL be a way in the GUI to change the hash table to be anything you want, from 8K to 64MB. jm
